5 Freeway over the Grapevine shut down due to snow, officials say

CASTAIC, Calif. (KABC) — Both sides of the 5 Freeway over the Grapevine was shut down Tuesday night due to snowfall, officials said.

The California Highway Patrol announced the closure on social media just before 9 p.m.

“At this time north and southbound I-5 is closed due to unsafe road and weather conditions over the Grapevine,” CHP tweeted. “Once these conditions improve the I-5 will be reopened.”

CHP is working with Caltrans to reopen the freeway, and Caltrans says crews are working to remove the snow.

It’s unclear when lanes will reopen.
